Vulnerability from github – Published: 2026-08-06 15:32 – Updated: 2026-08-06 15:32

Details

OMICRON StationScout before version 3.05 contains a cryptographic timing side-channel vulnerability in the backend authentication mechanism that may allow an unauthenticated attacker to forge valid authentication credentials, bypass authentication and authorization, and impersonate legitimate clients. An attacker can gain full access to the system configuration, allowing modification, reset, or unauthorized alteration of system parameters or injecting network traffic into the connected network.

Severity

8.3 (High)

Detection rules are retrieved from Rulezet.

The MITRE ATT&CK techniques below are AI-generated suggestions, inferred from the description of the vulnerability by the CIRCL/vulnerability-attack-technique-classification-roberta-base model, served locally by ML-Gateway. They have not been verified by an analyst and are provided for guidance only.
The approach is described in our paper Mapping CVEs to MITRE ATT&CK Techniques: A Curated Gold-Set Classifier and the Limits of LLM-Assisted Label Expansion.
